Low libido bringing you down? Don’t panic! A lack of sexual desire affects many men at some stage in their life for myriad of reasons, including stress, medical conditions, diet, and relationship issues. Just remember that everyone’s sex drive is different and can be managed by a few simple lifestyle tweaks, which can include treating depression, cutting down on alcohol, and exercising more.

The benefits of a healthy no pants dance are endless. It improves your chances of conception and enhances your relationship with your partner. Sexual health and behaviour are also linked to cognitive function, happiness, sexual pleasure and well-being, interpersonal relationships, and quality of life.

Besides lifestyle changes, supplements like Vital Enduramax™ can play a vital role in supporting performance in all areas of your life, from bedroom to boardroom. It contains a combination of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and herbal extracts which support energy, vitality and the physical and mental aspects of sexual health and performance. Give it a try and power up your day!

Making love is both physical and psychological

Libido and erectile dysfunction (ED) are influenced by both physical and psychological factors. ED is sometimes considered the canary in the coal mine of cardiovascular disease because it often precedes myocardial infarction and strokes and can also be impacted by diet and lifestyle choices. 

But don't stress too much, there's always a solution! Healthy lifestyle choices support the basic requirements of good sexual health, including the production of male hormones. Boosting stamina and testosterone levels may begin with basic health and good nutrition, but being in the mood for high quality physical intimacy with your partner is not just a physical game. It is equally important to feel that you are in a loving, safe relationship and to manage stress and depression. In general, individuals who are more satisfied in their romantic relationships, who are healthier and have no trouble sleeping at night, tend to participate more in the shaking of the sheets!

What is a healthy sex drive?

The definition of a healthy sex drive is as individual as you are. Although one study that investigated sex therapists’ perceptions suggests that a desirable duration of intercourse is seven to 13 minutes, there is no hard evidence to support the ideal frequency or duration of a roll in the hay that is always correct or normal, so the testing of the mattress is subjective.

However, a quick Google search shows that the interest in boosting libido is perennial. Virility is about feeling your best and supporting both the psychological and physical aspects of your health, including a healthy sex life.

When you are looking to boost your libido, it is likely because you are aware that something is lacking – maybe low interest in sex, or concerns about erectile dysfunction, or a partner who wants more hanky panky than you do. Maybe nothing is wrong, but you are merely looking for ways to improve stamina and duration or the quality of lovemaking.

Ways to enhance 'getting it on', libido and drive

Build stamina and endurance

One way to improve your sexual stamina is to improve your overall physical fitness, strength and endurance. Consider starting with the generally recommended minimum of 150–300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75–150 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity per week plus muscle-strengthening activities that involve all the major muscle groups at least twice a week.

Reduce alcohol consumption

A little may well help you to feel relaxed and confident, but too much alcohol contributes to erectile dysfunction, so moderation is key.

Manage stress

Both physical and mental stress impact testosterone production. Cellular oxidative stress can be managed through a diet high in polyphenols and essential nutrients. There are various lifestyle factors that can improve your resilience to stress, including a high-quality diet, exercise and getting enough sleep.

Treat depression

Depression and anxiety are highly prevalent in men with erectile dysfunction. If you feel chronically depressed you should seek help through a counsellor or your doctor, but there are also natural ways to boost serotonin and fight depression and anxiety. Following a Mediterranean diet has cardiovascular health benefits, and it has been shown to reduce symptoms of depression.

The key features of a Mediterranean-style diet:

  • High in healthy fats, including olive oil, nuts, seeds, and fish.
  • High in whole grains, vegetables, and fruits.
  • Emphasis on low-fat dairy and minimum red meat consumption.

Nutrition to boost testosterone and stamina

Healthy hormone production depends on adequate protein, as well as essential fats. In terms of micronutrients, vitamin D, magnesium and zinc seem to be the champions for testosterone production. Getting enough calories and B vitamins for energy production would also support endurance. However, beware of excessive refined carbohydrate and poor-quality fat as energy sources because visceral obesity and metabolic syndrome are associated with reduced testosterone levels.

A good place to start

We know that relationships, like men’s sexual health and libido, are multi-dimensional, but if improved sex drive and stamina enhances the quality of your intimate experience, that would presumably have a positive effect on general relationship satisfaction, so we think it’s a good place to start.

If you are concerned about low libido or erectile dysfunction frequently over time, consider having a discussion with a doctor to rule out any serious health issues and to see what options are available.
